AMC has given the nod to three reality TV series, one of them, as previously reported, “All-Star Celebrity Bowling,” a tongue-in-cheek affair from Colorado’s High Noon Productions.

Per AMC:

“All-Star Celebrity Bowling” (eight episodes, 30 minutes) is the battle royale of celebrity game shows. Adapted from Chris Hardwick’s hit web series, “All-Star Celebrity Bowling” features two new celebrity casts each week facing off in a fun-filled bowling match for charity. Hosted by twin brothers Randy and Jason Sklar, this comedic talk/game show hybrid allows viewers a chance to see a different side of their favorite celebrities as they compete, drink and trash talk their way through ten exciting frames of bowling. The pilot features a hilarious match up between Jon Hamm and the cast of “Mad Men” versus Chris Hardwick and his Nerdist team. Charitable winnings are on the line in each episode as stars from the world of television, movies, sports, music and pop culture bowl for dollars.

Produced by High Noon Productions; Executive Producers: Chris Hardwick and Peter Levin of Nerdist; Executive Producers: Jim Berger and Patrick Jager from High Noon
